Re: CLUSTER in 8.3.5 on GIST indexes loses all rows

FYI, this is not limited to PostGIS GIST, it appears to be all GIST
(gid is an integer column and I have loaded btree_gist):

pramsey=# create table ttt as select * from counties;
SELECT
pramsey=# create index gid_bix on ttt using gist (gid);
CREATE INDEX
pramsey=# select count(*) from ttt;count
------- 3141
(1 row)

pramsey=# cluster ttt using gid_bix;
CLUSTER
pramsey=# select count(*) from ttt;count
-------    0
(1 row)

pramsey=# select version();                                                          version
